Lyrics

I built my house on the solid rock
Cast my cares to the wind
Trouble followed me just the same
And that big bad world it came barging in
Oh, it's awfully good
And then a pretty shame
I thought I had my life by the reins
Oh, life's a fever and love is wild
Takes you on one meek and mighty ride
You build your house on the solid rock
Hold your breath and hope it's there to stay
My brother built his house on that sinking sand
Was late to the job every day
But fortune followed him just the same
And my big bad mouth it had much to say
Oh, it's awfully good
And then a pretty shame
I thought I had my life by the reins
Oh, life's a fever and love is wild
Takes you on one meek and mighty ride
You build your house on the solid rock
Hold your breath and hope it's there to stay
Well, there I was, up to my eyelids in darkness
Standing in the scattered debris of my former home
When lo and behold, I went and had a burning bush moment
The fireplace lit up and the flames began to sing"I can't protect you from harm or pain
In the dark I draw ever near
I hide myself in the broken things
When the big bad world, it comes barging in"
Oh, it's awfully good
And then a pretty shame
I thought I had my life by the reins
Oh, life's a fever and love is wild
Takes you on one meek and mighty ride
You build your house on the solid rock
Hold your breath and hope it's there to stay
Hold your breath and hope it's there to stay
Hold your breath and hope it's there to stay
